Pros:
The staff are amazing, views are great and amenities are beautiful but management is the worst and the management of the amenities is even worse
Cons:
This is a typical corporation type building, all they care about is your $, no loyalty whatsoever to long term tenets. They are increasing rents at 40% and taking away free amenities for people who have lived here since the building opened, when I’m pretty sure we are supposed to be rent stabilized. There are crazy bad trash smells on certain days of the week when garbage piles up in the building, we have had spiders, ants and termites infect the apartment, but they are quick to send exterminator. There was a shooting outside our building at someone who lives in 420 and there was no communication to the 416 building. When you use the pool or common areas they treat you like you owe them something. We pay ridiculous rents to live here, I’m not a child, don’t treat me like one. They change the pool guest policy almost daily, it use to be free and could take 3 people with you, then you could only take 1, then none, now if you want a guest only weekdays for $40, like what the actual f**k. Then when you get up there no one is actually there so why the $. You feel like you are being nickle and dimed for every little thing in this place. Don’t use a 3rd party to manage amenities we are paying for!!!!!! Also I pay for the bike room and everyone just throws their bikes in with no management of it. Someone keeps taking my space and when I tell the building they do nothing about it, I keep having to move the persons bike.
Advice to owner:
Have some loyalty to you tenets who are good, pay on time and take care of your property. Fire management and get someone who actually cares about people, Bob is horrible and talks down to people when he actually responds (typically he just ignores you)Pretty sure he treats women and people of color different than men in the building.
